00:00:10,070 --> 00:00:07,649
and I'm taking you inside KSC NASA's

00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:10,080
Kennedy Space Center assured out 2017

00:00:16,189 --> 00:00:14,190
with a bang yes that the Kennedy Space

00:00:18,710 --> 00:00:16,199
Center Visitor Complex were treated to

00:00:21,230 --> 00:00:18,720
holidays in space featuring holiday

00:00:26,450 --> 00:00:23,930
from December 20th through the 31st a

9
00:00:28,939 --> 00:00:26,460
water deluge test was completed at

10
00:00:31,550 --> 00:00:28,949
launch pad 39b to prepare for the launch

11
00:00:35,150 --> 00:00:31,560
of NASA's Space Launch System rocket and

12
00:00:37,610 --> 00:00:35,160
Orion spacecraft about 450,000 gallons

13
00:00:39,229 --> 00:00:37,620
of water float at high speed from an

14
00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:39,239
elevated tank through new and modified

15
00:00:43,790 --> 00:00:41,910
typing and valves the flame trench flame

00:00:46,340 --> 00:00:43,800
deflector nozzles and mobile launcher

17
00:00:48,410 --> 00:00:46,350
interface pipe at peak flow the water

18
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:48,420
reached about 100 feet in the air above

19
00:00:52,970 --> 00:00:50,610
the pad surface the test was a milestone

20
00:00:54,650 --> 00:00:52,980
to confirm and baseline the performance

21
00:00:57,260 --> 00:00:54,660
of the ignition overpressure and sound

22
00:00:58,790 --> 00:00:57,270
suppression flippers during launch the

23
00:01:00,650 --> 00:00:58,800
high speed water flow will help protect

24
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:00,660
the rocket and spacecraft from the

25
00:01:06,219 --> 00:01:02,640
extreme acoustic and temperature
